Support YourLocal Space Program! The Portland State Aerospace Society is crowdfunding; your support is vial to keeping our student-run, open source aerospace project running! Please consider donating; we only crowdfund once a year, and your money will go directly to students building open source rockets and Oregon's next satellite. https://lnkd.in/gNRn7f4G This year we have a $5,000 matching gift, so every dollar you donate is matched! And every dollar matters: $50 buys us fasteners from McMaster-Carr for the rocket, $100 gets us a Digi-Key order to stuff an OreSat card, and $1,000, which will be matched to $2,000, gets us enough money to fund a student intern over the summer! A PSAS internship is a huge deal for our low income students who need to work while in school. PSAS Open House! Join us TONIGHT, Wednesday April 17th, from 5:00pm - 9:00pm, in the "rocket room" for a PSAS open house! Eat delicious snacks while nerding out at our latest rockets, rocket systems, liquid fuel engine test stand, and your last chance to view OreSat0.5, Oregon's 2nd satellite, before we take it down to Vandenberg Space Force Base for integration! - PSU Engineering Building, 1930 SW 4th Avenue - Room 91 (The "rocket room" on the lower level)
